Real Madrid Preparing A Bid To Lure Chelsea Star To Spain

I’m guessing that between now and when the summer transfer window closes, we’re going to see a lot of transfer speculation regarding Eden Hazard.

At the moment, with the player having two-years left on his Chelsea contract, it is accepted that it will be Chelsea who decides whether the talented Belgian remains at Chelsea or is sold for a colossal fee.

Today, as the speculation increases, the good folk of the Evening Standard, are reporting that Real Madrid are ready to try and tempt Chelsea to sell by making an opening offer.

However, it appears that their opening offer of £112 million falls well short of the £200 million valuation the club has put on the head of the 27-year-old.

In fact, sat here in the Vital Chelsea editorial chair, I’d be amazed if an offer that low was even entertained by the Chelsea hierarchy.

But, continuing on the Hazard ongoing saga, it appears that somebody who left London to join Barcelona and then returned to London, Cesc Fabregas, has been, according to the news source, the Telegraph, been regularly chatting to his team-mate, with our referenced source carrying quotes from the Spaniard which read,

“I won’t lie, I speak to him often.

“He is the best player at the club and we need at Chelsea to keep the best players. He knows the fans love him and he’s a player we love to play with. For sure, we want him to stay.”

Sentiments I’m sure you’ll join me in echoing.

However, delving into the social media world, it appears, according to one news source, Chelsea are not too fazed by the interest in their jewel-in-the-crown;

Chelsea are said to be “relaxed” about the Eden Hazard situation with 2 deals said to be nearing completion. #CFC (ESPN) https://t.co/DsdAabgLzw

Hazard’s heart and mind are no longer with CFC. It’s pointless to keep a player who doesn’t want to be here. Let him go! Take the money and let’s move on . CFC didn’t start with him and will not finish with him. May be, just may someone better will step up for us and we’ll realise we have been waiting time to try to convince Hazard to stay.
